My Father.. a Family!

I am believing more and more the Truth of the Bible. Ever since the creation of man, THE CREATOR GOD has been wanting and establishing relationship with us, His creation. Rather than calling us His creation, He calls us His Sons and Daughters.

I grew up most of my life knowing that there was a God in Heaven who loved me, but He was pretty out there. I knew that Jesus Christ His Son came to this earth to save me and... then what??? Then, He started revealing His ULTIMATE PLAN for mankind.

He revealed that I was a son, His son. That through Jesus Christ my Brother, Lover and Savior, I have been adopted into Sonship with the Living God! I cannot even begin to comprehend the entirety of this revelation(revealing of God), but I have a glimpse. We get to enter in to the Garden of Eden. A place where we enjoy the presence of God. We realize that there IS a Father who loves us. A creator God that longs for our presence to dwell with His. I have been receiving morsels of this and now I plead with God, not out of an orphan spirit but as an adopted son, "I need you more!"

Psalm 27:4 - "One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple." This is the prayer of my Heart.

The more and more I am realizing that Faith is a Relationship the more I realize something unseen(God) is VERY tangible.

I believe this is how the Trinity works. As I gaze upon the Father, He points me to His Son Christ Jesus, and as I gaze upon Jesus, He is pointing me to the Holy Spirit. They are all pointing at each other!

So, As a Son, Lover and Friend of God, I am brought into this Divine Family and just by believing I am set free. He calls me to set others free. I cannot wait till the day His whole family is together. I am running with part of His family now and it is indescribable of how family is changing hearts. Simply loving people through God is the most powerful tool on the face of this planet. Let us Love God and Let Him Love us. In turn, Let's Love bomb the world and every heart in it.

Trust in Him

Why do we have so much trouble trusting Jesus? Recently, I have been wrestling with this question. I have been wrestling not because I trust God completely, but because He is taking me through a season of trusting Him. I am realizing more and more how much I actually don't trust my Father in Heaven.

Many questions run through my head about many different things. "What will happen with my life?" "Where will I be at the end of the school I am staffing?" "How will God support me?" "When will I be married?" I would sit there and these questions would consume my mind. I wouldn't be thinking about them obsessively, but I would to a point where my mind was not fully fixated on my Lover. I am not saying thinking about these questions are wrong, but when taken beyond processing with Jesus then a place of compromise enters. The Lord commands to Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Loving someone consumes every part of your thoughts. When you love someone you can't help but think about them, but it also takes effort to consider them in between the menial tasks of the day as well as the big questions in life. The Lord says "all" not part, so we give Him all of our thoughts that proceed from our mind.

So, I have come to a revelation that God has given to me. The questions that challenge my trust in God are out of a place of not loving Him. If I realize that there is a God in Heaven who loves me and He is taking care of me no matter what, then I could trust Him. He is a Father in Heaven who gives good gifts and knows me better than I know myself. I have been realizing something in my short walk with God. He takes care of me while I sit with Him. No more doing and no more thinking about meaningless things.

"Be still and know that I am God..." -Psalms 46:10

I have all these questions and yet I have ONE answer. He is my answer and though how crazy it might seem I must trust Him and love Him and KNOW that He is God. If He really IS God and I am really His child, then there is nothing I should be worried about. He is a good Daddy and He takes care of every thing that we need. I pray that we can choose to trust Him and choose to love Him.

Freedom!

Freedom is not in people's imagination. It is not just a passing thought. Freedom is here and now.

There is a personal freedom that Jesus wants to place in our lives. This freedom is to be fully free of self and enemy and be fully enamored by the Man Jesus! It is to be fully alive in who He called us to be. Free from lies and free from heartache. I want to make a point here though, I am not talking about a feel good gospel. What I am describing is actually a broken place. A place of hurt that we ourselves or other people have inflicted on us. The place of brokenness is the key to freedom. The place of brokenness is the very place where we find ourselves, which is our Shepherd's voice. Once we recognize what is inflicting us, we can invite the healing power of Jesus into that place.

I met a woman who had some interesting beliefs and basically she believed in a "divine principle". What I felt from the Lord is that she was taught to bury the very brokenness that she was running from. Rather than going to the hurt and repenting of living from there, she hid it and ran from it. I have had a similar experience where I ran from who God was calling me to be and tried to find my identity in my gifting rather than my sonship. God has called each and every one of us to live out of being sons and daughters of the Most High. Where our world stops revolving around ourselves or an idol and starts revolving around the Father! The Father wants to go to the place of brokenness and set us free. He wants to share what He thinks about what happened to us and share who we really are. He wants to share this personally. Not through my blog or through a sermon or through anything but His Voice!!! The Father in Heaven is after our hearts and after our beings. He wants to take us into a level of being sons and daughters until the King returns! And after? We are still sons and daughters! This is true freedom and true redemption since the fall. We lost our place as sons and daughters and Jesus is taking our hand into Heaven saying, "This is who you really are!!" Freedom is at the very place of where the chains are. How do we get free if we don't unlock the chains? How do we allow God to heal our wounds from the chains if the chains are still on? We, myself included, have been lied to for too long. The key has been placed in our hands by Jesus and He is saying to us that our sins are forgiven and now it is time to walk in that freedom!!! It is time to rise up as sons and daughters of the Father in Heaven and run after His heart!!! FREEDOM!!!

Brokenness

The Lord has been revealing this word "brokenness" to me. There are places of brokenness that believers will walk through no matter where they are with the Lord.

I believe that brokenness is one of the main reasons why there is a separation between God and man. I am not saying that this is the only reason why there is a separation. Let me elaborate. When a place of brokenness comes into your life, there are two places that you could run to. One, run to God and community as fast as you can and get the brokenness out in the open. Two, run to your "secret" and "safe" place. I believe that this "secret" and "safe" place of peoples lives is a lie that they are believing. People, I even did this myself, create a false area of security which then creates a false healing, or a cover up. I believe that the real secret and safe place that one can run to in order to confront and heal the brokenness is in the face of God. This is why brokenness is an invitation to allow the Lord's will to be done. Brokenness is actually a gateway into the presence of God. In that place of brokenness, there is repentance, grace, love, deliverance and revival.

As Watchman Nee puts it, "Brokenness is the way of blessing, the way of fragrance, the way of fruitfulness. But, it is also a path sprinkled with 'blood from our wounds.'"

The place of brokenness is not an easy road filled with beautiful flowers and pleasing aromas where nothing hurts. It is actually a road with rose bushes that look beautiful but actually prick you and hurt you. This doesn't mean the journey is over this just means the journey is just beginning. Oh, how we should invite the cup of suffering and drink deep of the invitation the Lord has for us. Through the allowance of the Lord to work in our lives we invite revival into our hearts. Vulnerability plays a key role to brokenness. It actually opens you up in order for the brokenness to be revealed. At this point I would love to make a statement, I am not saying to beat our selves into a place of brokenness or force ourselves to be broken, but allow the Lord to reveal places of brokenness in our lives and when they come we react by running to Him.

God wants your brokenness. He doesn't just want it because it's fun and wants to see you suffer. He wants it because He is a God of freedom and loves to deliver His children from the throngs of the enemy. He wants to liberate us as sons and daughters and longs to see us fully awakened to who He is as our INFINITE GOD!! Let us as followers of Christ dig into the place of brokenness when needed. Let us run hard and fast to Jesus and say to the brokenness, "Bring it on!!!" For the moment we start to embrace this brokenness, the healing of the Lord immediately flows.

Blessings and Love,

"NEEDY"

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 5:3

The Lord spoke to me to read this passage. I have read it four times in the last two weeks and have been meditating on the words and the heart that Jesus was trying to portray to his disciples. This verse alone speaks volumes about where we should be with the Father and how much we should be in need of Him.

Jesus is speaking to His disciples about what it looks like to be blessed. This verse is the one He begins with. I believe what Jesus is saying here when He says, "poor in spirit", is not what most walk out in. I don't think that Jesus is talking about the human meaning of being poor, where we drop everything that He has blessed us with and live on the streets. Or, is He speaking of a false sense of humility. Humility happens when we realize the bigness of God and He humbles, not oneself.

I believe when Jesus says "poor in spirit", He is talking about the need of the love, appreciation and identity that the Father is speaking to us. When we become contempt with where we are with the Lord then we become lacking in our lives of God. We are drinking old wines from old wine skins. He is the eternal God who knows no end and sees all ends. He is the filler and the emptier of all things. He is the beginning and the ender. He loves His people(everyone) and destroys His enemy. He is the creator of all things and the creator of me and you. How can we possibly become contempt with where we are with this INFINITE GOD?!?!?!? He forever fills those who forever ask. He is a loving Father that wants His children in their rightful places in His kingdom. He wants to walk with us in every day situations whether great or terrible. He wants us to experience the wonders of His mighty love and power. THAT is the kingdom of heaven! The love and power of Jesus Christ! He is continually pouring out His never ending love that always changes our lives and yet we have the audacity to say we are full or wealthy in what He has already given us.

Let us move from the place of drinking old wine in old wine skins and move to the place of abundance where there are rivers of wine and fresh skins to fill. Let us never be contempt with the Lord and always remember that He wants us to dive deeper into intimacy and deeper into LOVE. The Father is waiting with His arms wide open for His beloved children to collapse into. The kingdom of heaven is waiting for the poor in spirit to cry out Abba Father!!!

We are sons and daughters of the Most High God and let us remember that the King's house, where there is an abundance of His Love and Glory, is ours if only we ask.

Spirit in the Heart!!!!
